Trivia[]

  • The track "Ending - Metroid" is the only Metroid song in Super Smash Bros. Brawl to not be used in any capacity throughout The Subspace Emissary.
  • Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is the only entry in the Metroid Prime series to not have a song in Smash.
    • This is discounting Metroid Prime Pinball as it reuses several songs from the first Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.
